My cat has a hard lump under his chin?
Today I noticed that my cat has a pea to small marble sized hard lump under his chin. It does not seem squishy or movable. He recently, about a month ago, had a urethrostomy due to bladder problems and he and I just moved to a new home this weekend. He has been off all meds for about 4 weeks now and he is using a new food and water dish until I get his old ones from the old place. It seems like it may possibly bother him. He does not like me touching it but does not go berserk when I try. I want to take him to the vet but due to his surgery I have a rather larger vet bill and honestly have no money to pay for a visit and more lab work. What should I do and does ANYONE know what it could be? Oh and I don't think its an abscessed tooth because the vet has always said he had healthy teeth but I still won't rule it out yet! Please, please help!!! Thanks!!!
answer: I'm so sorry you cat (and your wallet) have been through so much. Unfortunately, I think it's best to take him back to the vet. It could be an abscess or a tumor, and you just can't tell without a visit to the vet.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com Maybe since you already spent so much money they would be willing to let you make payments this time? It never hurts to ask.
Good luck. I hope it's nothing serious. I also hope you're feeding a high protein, low carb CANNED diet so his urinary tract problems don't recur. Dry food is the worst possible thing for urinary tract problems.
